So I was lucky enough to enjoy a European sojourn, through several countries during April.
Part of my not-so-secret agenda was to hit some Festool dealers along the way. My wife humored a few. I managed to get to a few more.
In total, I was able to get to six (in four countries!). Two were pretty good. Two were busts, and really just were order takers (and not a Festool store).
And two of them were *jackpots*, but sadly didn’t take credit cards. Boo hoo and all. (FYI, in Frankfurth Germany and in Ghent, Belgium). Yay for ATMs.
Anyway, I hereby present to you, for any and all FOGgers to behold and to purchase: Festool Plug-It pigtails for sale.
I have a grand total of 10 available.
5 have the green tail
5 have the black tail
I would like $45 each, plus shipping (priority or flat rate.. whichever works out cheaper for you).

The green tails are the equivalent of the 16g wire cords found in the US. They have the plug-it socket type that is on the TS and routers, and what-not. The one without the extra divot found on the smaller sanders.
Ergo, you would need to use a 16g power cord with these.

The black tails had a slightly different socket which I assume is for some European-only tool. I did have to take a razor and carve off a bump. This creates the plug-it socket type is on the TS and routers, and what-not. Ergo, you would need to use a 16g power cord with these.
You can see in the picture there is an additional little divot to the top right (in the photo). This extra divot does not affect usage or performance in the slightest.
The actual wire in these is of heavier gauge than the green tails. They seem equally flexible.
